Hello,

I will be asking for formal separation shortly. I want to make sure I’ve got my ducks in a row before pulling the trigger. We are still amicable and have been discussing this for a while (her idea) so the separation won’t be a total surprise. Hoping to get some direction from you guys… (37m, 37f, no kids)

Have already-

• Liquidated stocks/bonds and moved to personal savings

• Closed our joint credit card

• Removed her from my cell phone plan

• unloaded some shit locally to get a lil handful of cash

• dropped my retirement contributions to the minimum amount to get matching

• gathered statements for all accounts and titles for all assets

• have been consulting with lawyers all over town to get an understanding of the process after this and trying to decide which mediator to go with and which lawyer to keep in my back pocket if things get nasty.

Anything else I should do? Will prob drop the bomb on Monday.

Cheers -
